Tenchusatsu, I think the writing is on the wall once the cerebral cortex turns to fluid after 15 years. Would your wife hold you to 15 plus years of no family after her cerebral cortex turned into fluid? Would that be moral of her? What purpose would it serve? I looked at the facts of the case and adjusted my opinion to reflect the facts, so should you. Ask your wife if she would want you to have no life after her cerebral cortex turned into fluid? You might learn something about her - is she generous or selfish? Does she care about you?

As an observer, your change of position is interestingly representative. At the beginning of the discussion, you seemed to side with the parents and against the husband. That was essentially my position as well when I first heard about the case. In the beginning, it sounded like the husband was a jerk. I learned later that that argument had been carefully choreographed by the parents.

However, as more and more of the facts surface, you like me began to change your mind. Truly, that's only logical........the facts mostly support that the husband has tried to do what's in the best interest of his wife. Its relatively easy to see how a fairly well informed, educated brain might come to that conclusion.

What's not so easy to understand is why some fairly well informed, educated brains do not come to that same conclusion. One would have to assume that some other factor that is not directly pertinent to the case is in play.........and/or the person is motivated by another agenda. I think that's probably the reason for the current political dichotomy in the country. One side mostly looks at the facts and comes to a conclusion while the other side looks at the fact and then other issues before coming to their conclusion.

Does that make sense?

Amy, personally, I'm still suspicious of the husband's motives for wanting her dead even after 15 years. He goes off and has two children with another woman without first getting divorced from his invalid wife, which to me is a red flag, but to some might be dismissed as "legal semantics."

By the way, I'm not buying the notion that her cerebral cortex simply "turned into fluid," because if you think about it, we're all mere "walking bags of fluid."

Nothing really black-n-white with this case. I see the moral indignation on both sides of the fence, especially from the one side who always accuses the other side of "moral indignation." All I can tell you is that from my point of view, the husband's motives are suspect.
